Ours would have the route going to Null0, so it wouldn't be shot back out via the default route. This hides any internal instability from being announced to the outside world except in /extreme/ cases. (Like we fall completely off the net). Why would you want the packet transiting back and forth across your T-1 until the TTL expires anyway? Much better to black hole the sucker.
